EXAMPLE 9 ENGR. C. LEOBRERA

For the A36 steel bracket plate of the accompanying

figure, calculate the maximum service load P (15% dead
load and 85% live load) when 7/8 inch diameter A325
bolts are used in a bearing-type connection (A325-N)
with threads included in the shear planes.

(a) Use the elastic (vector) method.

(b) Use the AISC Manual Tables.
